It’s around Thanksgiving which means it’s time for the exempt tournaments in college basketball. This year that means Purdue heads to the Bahamas to participate in the Baha Mar Hoops tournament. In their first round matchup they’ve got the Memphis Tigers who surely will bring Pouncer to stare down Purdue Pete. I’ll take Pete in […]

Purdue comes off its big week where it returned to #1 after convincing wins at Alabama and at home against Akron, by taking its talent to the Bahamas where it will look to win its fifth straight MTE tournament. That task starts with taking Penn Hardaway’s 1-2 Memphis Tigers. The Tigers, shockingly, brings no one […]

Ledman tags in Drew to cover the football game against Washington and the basketball games against Alabama and Akron. The football conversation went about as expected after the Boilermakers were mauled by the Huskies in Seattle. Instead of dwelling on the negative, Ryan and Drew dive deep into the heart of Purdue football and pull […]

The Boilers looked focused in what may end up being one of their better non-conference victories of the season with a 97-79 victory over the Akron Zips. The Zips are back to back MAC champions under former Illini head coach John Groce, went to the NCAA Tourney last season, and finished 28-7. Those 28 wins […]

Last week the AP Poll had a rarity. Purdue received more first palce votes than No. 1 Houston, but enough writers dropped the Boilermakers far enough back (some as far down as 10th) for committing the crime of (checks notes) trailing Oakland briefly in the second half while one of our All-Americans was not playing. […]

There was no letdown for Purdue tonight after the huge win at Alabama on Thursday. A good Akron team came to West Lafayette with a MAC title to their credit and consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances on their resume. They were able to make a game of it for a bit, but in the end Purdue […]

Purdue came into this game riding a high after taking down #8 Alabama on the road. They watched earlier today as #1 usurping Houston struggled to take down future Purdue opponent Auburn. Maybe that was a nice reminder to take nothing for granted as Purdue will next head to the Bahamas. This had all the […]

#2 Purdue returns to Mackey on the wave of a big road win against top-10 Alabama to host MAC champion and 3-0 Akron on Sunday. Purdue is currently on its longest home non-conference winning streak in program history. Purdue has won its last 34 non-conference games at Mackey Arena. And while Akron won’t come into […]

Coming off a thrilling 87-80 victory over the #8 Alabama Crimson Tide on the road, the Purdue men’s basketball team returns home to face the Zips of Akron. This is no time for a day off though. Akron comes in 3-0 and Purdue needs to show their doubters that they can handle the opponents they […]

Purdue will eventually win another conference game in the sport of American football. We’re going to keep playing the sport and eventually, on a long enough timeline, a win will come. It just probably won’t be in 2025. While there was a small ray of hope after Purdue wasn’t totally embarassed by Ohio State last […]

Purdue is in the state of Washington for a Big Ten game, that’ll never feel normal to me, with the added subplot of their former head football coach Ryan Walters roaming the sidelines (or perhaps sitting in the press box) for the Huskies. It’s an added element of revenge for the Boilermakers though the vast […]

With around thirty seconds left in what will be one of the best played college basketball games of the year, a back and forth game found itself separated by just four points. But still, Alabama fans and half the media, started to get up from their chairs and walk towards the exit. It was a […]

Pete Thamel reported earlier this morning that Washington will be without wide receiver Denzel Boston, the Huskies’ best offensive weapon, along with two other starters along the offensive line. Boston has 52 receptions, 730 yards, and 8 touchdowns and is clearly Washington’s leader in that room. The next closes for each category is 29 receptions, […]

There are just two games left in the regular season for the Boilermakers. Well, the season I guess. Purdue is certainly not going to the postseason. So it’s time for the staff to go on the record about this one. Ledman (9-1): I just have very little confidence or faith in this team right now. […]

A trip to Tuscaloosa led to the same result over the previous two seasons for Purdue as the Boilers moved to 3-0 over the Crimson Tide of Alabama following an 87-80 road victory. It was a game that saw Purdue quiet some of the doubt that had followed a somewhat lukewarm 2-0 start that saw […]

What a win for Purdue in Tuscaloosa. After there was consternation and gnashing of teeth because (checks notes) Purdue trailed briefly in the second half at home against Oakland the Boilers went on the road and did something it has not done in 40+ years: win a non-conference true road game over a top 10 […]

The first half didn’t go like either team expected. Purdue dominated the glass with Trey, Braden, and Cluff combining for 17 boards after the Boilermakers looked allergic to rebounding in their first two contests. Meanwhile, Alabama, a team shooting a combined 30% from deep through two games, could not miss from deep, connecting on 10 […]

When you’re looking ahead to the regular season, it’s matchups like these that you circle on your calendar. The #2 Purdue Boilermakers, #1 in our hearts and in the Coach’s poll, heads to Tuscaloosa to take on the #8 Crimson Tide from Alabama. These two teams have become very familiar with each other in recent […]
